Great to see my friend, @The_AADF chair Michael Granoff in NYC 🇦🇱❤️🇺🇸

And here’s some great news for Tirana: we’re bringing #ECOLE42 and @PlugandPlayTC to the Pyramid for post @tumotirana digital education - making Tirana the ONLY city where digital literacy is considered a human right for every child and youth as they prepare - FREE of charge - for the jobs of the future!

And for the nature lovers, the Trail of Lakes connecting Farka-Liqeni Artificial-Liqeni Thate will bring a great infrastructure to our city’s “green lungs”!

Thanks @The_AADF - let’s rock these! 🚀

🫶Një kapitull i ri për transformimin e lumit të Lanës, e cila ka nisur me punën e jashtëzakonshme të administratës së Bashkisë së Tiranës në vitet 2000-2011 dhe po vijon sot, me po të njëjtin përkushtim, për pjesën nga “Pallati me Shigjeta” deri te kryqëzimi Rr. "Teodor Keko". 🌳🏡🏞️🏡

Banorët që preken nga ky projekt i rëndësishëm për zhvillimin e qytetit, fillimisht do të trajtohen me bonus qiraje, e më pas do të përfitojnë banesë falas, disa herë më të mirë se ajo që kanë, e që do të ndërtohen për këtë qëllim nga Bashkia e Tiranës✅

A quick day in Turkey to see my friend and mentor @imamoglu_int - the tireless mayor of Istanbul and founder of the Balkan Mayors network @b40_network 🇦🇱❤️🇹🇷

We have expanded the network, strengthened ties in the region and increased intra-city solidarity - that’s the spirit! Thanks @ekrem_imamoglu for your vision and fraternity! 🤲🏻

[Erion Veliaj #MedCapitalCulture2025 🇪🇺🇦🇱 @erionveliaj]

Briefly in Sarajevo on behalf of @b40_network to meet the amazing Mayor @BenjaminaKaric and her wonderful coalition team at city hall! 🇧🇦

From the scars of war in the 90’s , it has become the bustling center for arts, culture and Bosnian economy! 🚀

Ps. For film buffs, the Aug 16 Sarajevo Festival, is not to be missed! 🎞️📽️

[Erion Veliaj #MedCapitalCulture2025 🇪🇺🇦🇱 @erionveliaj]

Loved hosting Robert Gorelick on his first visit to Tirana - once impenetrable from any foreign entity, it’s now the bustling capital of Albanians and the Western Balkans!

Truly enjoyed talking cold war and current affairs, as well as brainstorm ways to make Tirana the safest city in Europe! 🇦🇱🇺🇸🇮🇹

Vajza e Saliit, vajza e Zhulalit, djali i Fariut protestojnë para bashkisë me parullën "Poshtë fëmijët e baballarëve".
Tani Edi Rama dihet që ka hyrë në politikë nga rruga me këmbët e veta, Erion Veliaj nga rruga, kurse këta s'kanë emër dhe thirren ende me emra të baballarëve.

It's always a treat to catch up with my brother @AlexanderSoros and the outstanding @OpenSociety Team.

Glad to see so many friends from Ukraine and SE Europe convene in Tirana for the @ediramaal - @ZelenskyyUa sunmit! Small countries punching above their weight, bravo! 🇦🇱❤️🇺🇦

Dritëëë😃

[Erion Veliaj #MedCapitalCulture2025 🇪🇺🇦🇱 @erionveliaj]

Always a delight to meet 2 of Europe's leading mayors - @BeppeSala of Milan and @giorgio_gori of Bergamo!

In a world of chaos and populism, they have managed to keep domestic economic growth, tourism and inclusion of everyone in their communities!

I am particularly grateful for the thriving albanian community in Milano-Bergamo and look forward to use the B-40 Presidency to strengthen Balkan ties to Italy and its top mayors! 🇦🇱❤️🇮🇹

🇺🇸 Thanks so much @P_AlexanderCEO & @Strong_Cities for having me at the @CarterCenter this week to talk about Tirana and what transforms cities. 🇦🇱

The 19th century was about empires, the 20th about nations and states, and the 21st will be surely be about cities!

Transforming cities will be the answer to transparency, resilience and innovation in gov.

Glad to see little sister Edit Shkreli get inducted as the first Albanian-American and youngest judge, in NYC. 🇦🇱🇺🇸

Her story as a 13 year-old immigrant, starting from scratch, after losing her dad - and yet fighting, studying, struggling - is a modern day Cinderella Story. 👑

This is not just the best 🇦🇱 century to date, but mostly the century of amazing 🇦🇱 women from Edit, to @miramurati and @ErmonelaJaho - and the many more that will be inspired! FORCA! 👏
